Primary research questions/Purpose of the Research.
1. Determine the short term (epidermal regeneration, reduction of pain, infections and
length of stay) and long term (scarring, long term recovery, and cost of treatment)
outcomes of Microbial Nanocellulose (NC) and fine mesh gauze impregnated with hyaluronan
and thrombin (HT).
2. Determine if donor site treatment with NC and HT is as safe as the use of Scarlet Red
ointment dressing.
b. Describe the importance of the knowledge that you expect to gain from the research.
To find a donor site dressing that has outcomes equal or better than that of scarlet
red.
